The York Road Railroad-Big Improve.

The York Road Railroad-Big Improve.
ments to be Made.-In conversation with one
of the directors of the York Road Railway Com
pany a few days ago We were informed that it is
the intention of the company to continue the
double track out to Govanstown, and perhaps, at
no distant day, to Towsontown. He said that
the advantages that this town and the whole road
would reap from rapid transit would be incalcula.
ble and to this end he favors the placing of
motors on the road, which would, when the double
track is completed, greatly shorten the time be-
tween Baltimore and Towsontown. 1t is the in
tention of the company to expend about $4,000
in the erection of fine stables and car sheds at
Waverly, and when these buildings are completed
all the stock, cars, &C., will be concentrated at
that point. This road, under itspresent able and
wide awake management, is now doing an immense
and constantly increasing business, and all that
is needed to give it an unprecedented boom is
quicker transit and reduction of fares for through
travel.

White Hall, TIN Observation-Disclosures Day
services will be celebrated at Wesley Chapel on
Sunday, 26th instant. An interesting programme
has been arranged for the occasion.
A short wheat crop is anticipated through this
section principally from rust and the the ravages
of the army worm. But it is hoped for the bene-
fit of our farmers that the yield will be better
than many of them hope for.
The venerable John P. Cuddy is still able to
attend church occasionally, but his age is fast tel
ling on him and he is growing very infrm.
The most remarkable old man in our community
is Jacob Barger, who is nearly SO years of age,
yet is able to do all the work connected with his
trade of post and railing.
We would like to remind the School Board that
we are still without school house. Why is it !?
1 believe we are the only ones in the district or
county who are compelled to send our children
to such an old kennel. Perhaps it is because we
are so patient and good natured that we have been
so long imposed upon. KoeNER HATCH.

A Mean Theft.-Some detestable scamp en-
tered the premises of Mr.. Joseph B. Herbert, in
Towsontown, Thursday night last, and carried
off 80 fine spring chickens. Some years ago,
Frank Brady, the rag man, stole lot of poultry
from the same place, when it was in the occupan-
cy of the late A. II. Krout. There is evidently
a great attraction for chicken thieves about Mr.
Herbert's home.

The New Avenue to oatonsville--N

Inc New Avenue to Catonsville--No
prospect for the Electric Road.-A Balti-
more correspondent of the Ellicott City Times says
II had talk few days ago with Mr.. Henry
Stocknrldge, president of the West Baltimore I'M
provement Association. He says that the extern
sion OF West Baltimore street to Catonsville which
some members of the association are enthusiastic
cally In favor of, would undoubtedly furnish q
magnificent drive and largely enhance the value
OF property on the line and in the neighborhood.
lie Is doubtful, however, whether the project will
be accomplished for many years to come.
at is" said Mr.. Stockbridge, ga matter in
which the city authorities have no concern, and
the most that association could do would be to
urge the County Commissioners to make the pro-
posed Improvement do not think that they can
do anything in the matter unless by an act of the
Legislature. To complete the proposed street as
it should be would require a vast amount of grad
ing-one place alone necessitatng filling for dis
lance of one thousand feet to the height of fifty
feet. While other items of great expense would
have to be taken into account"
"Superintendent Patterson, of the Gainesville
horse railway, says there is very little likelihood
that the much talked-of electric railroad between
Baltimore and Catonsville, with possible extern
sion to Ellicott City, will ever be built "Such q
road" Mr.. Patterson continued, "could not be
built over the grades of the Frederick pike with
out great expense and at such cost that the
stockholders would never derive dividends on
their investment.
"The recent reduction in fares to various points
along the line of our road" further continued Mr..
Patterson, "has resulted in large increase of
travel to points not reached by the Gainesville
Short Line. Persons who wish to go to the ter
minus or vicinity generally take the latter route.
We are willing to concede that horse flesh cannot
compete with steam, and we accept the situation
with the best grace we can"

Something About the Eighth District
The editor of the Woodberry Ne,os lately paid
visit to the Sth district and this is what he has
to say about it: at has been the pleasure and
privilege of the writer to have travelled over TWEEN
ty-seven states of this Union, not one of which
compare even favorably with Baltimore county,
the best portion of which is along the line of the
N. C. R. R. The view from the high ground just
back from Ashland, is certainly one of the finest
to be seen anywhere. On last Wednesday even
ing, by the kind invitation of Col. Walter S.
Franklin, we visited him and his charming family.
After late dinner we were driven over the estate
of the host, when we found his farm in a most ex-
cellent state of cultivation evidencing the superb
ority of the Colonel as master farmer. From
there we visited the now silent ore banks of the
Ashland Iron Company, from which we had a
grand view of the far stretching landscape, which
took in the Beaver Dam Quarries, Cockeysville,
Texas and almost over to Warren, and back to
the north and west as far as the eye could reach
In the drive we passed the estates of Mr.. John j.
Wight, Hayfeld, the home of the late John Mer-
ryman, the cosy and happy home of Mr. Frank l.
Duncan, editor of the Democrat, the home of Mr..
John C. Bosley, and many others, all of which
are kept in the neatest manner. We could not
help noting the vast improvement made in this
country since we passed through it twenty-five
years ago. After most delightful drive we re-
turned to the hospitable home of the Colonel and
enjoyed delightful evening with his most esti-
mable family. In the drive from Towsontown to
Ashland it was sad to see much valuable land be-
ing fearfully neglected. If some of our North
erners only knew of these waste plains, they would
gladly take them up and make them blossom as
the rose"

Rossville, 18th District.-The observance of
Children's Day at Hiss Church, was grand sue
cess. The weather being pleasant the attendance
was large. The room was decorated with flowers,
evergreens and singing birds. The programme
was ample and well rendered, all participating in
the exercises performing their parts admirably.
There were a number of persons present from
distance, among whom were DR.. Gorsuch, of Long
Green Valley and Mr.. VIM. Hackett, of Patapsco
Neck, who made appropriate speeches. The union
collection, including ten of the benevolent objects
of the church, was lifted, amounting to nearly $50.
Last Sabbath was q glorious day at Gatch's
Church. The celebration of Children's Day took
place in the afternoon, and as usual there was a
large congregation present and the room was
adorned with an abundance of choice flowers, DO,
the most of which were furnished by Mr.. Alexan-
der Mccormick, Jr. The exercises were quite in
teresting, all participating doing their very best
The collection was good and all came away highly
delighted with what they had seen and heard.
Children's Day will be observed at the Forge
Church on next Sunday night, 26th instant.
Mrs. Hebb, wife of DR.. Hebb, the County Treas
urer, is visiting her father, Mr.. John S. Hayes,

Mr.. Lewis Shafer, residing near Rossvile Station,
B. & o. R. R., was badly burned but her injuries
are not thought to be fatal. Drs. VIM. II.
Mace & Son have her in charge.
Not long since Mr.. Robert Councilman cut his
foot badly with broad.axe while engaged IN
hewing timber for Mr.. Charles Amos.
Wheat harvest commenced the latter part Of this
week and I think the yield in proportion to the
straw will be good
The hay crop promises to be tolerably good
The late dry spell has effected it some, however.
